Spring On-Campus Housing

The residence halls and Northern View Community apartments are great places to find your niche on campus. Whether you are a new first-year, transfer or a returning upper class student, you'll find that life on campus is both convenient and full of new opportunities to get engaged at NIU!

Why live on campus in the spring?

Your one-semester contract starts in January and ends in May.

No 12-month lease to worry about. You'll get to move in in January and move out in May.

Be admitted to NIU

Sign a Housing contract and make a $150 payment

The contract explains what dates you'll have a room and other important terms. You can make the $150 payment with a credit card. $25 of this payment is a non-refundable processing fee and the other $125 is a prepayment on your account. The rest of your room and board charge is paid through your NIU Bursar account.

If you're planning on signing up with a roommate, they must also be accepted to NIU and sign a Housing contract. If you don't have a roommate in mind when you sign up, we'll give you a roommate. Many people moving into the halls in the spring already have a roommate that's continuing to live there from the fall semester.
